what is secondposting?
secondposting is posting 'second' as the second reply in a thread


why is secondposting?
there are many good reasons to post 'second':
  • to engage with the thread and forge a meaningful connection between threadmonger and secondposter
  • to assert your presence in the thread
  • to declare that you can tell a joke better than 'firstposters'
  • to "get the ball rolling" by joining the threadmonger and showing to your fellow posters that the water is fine and to come on in and start posting
  • to imply that your priority is posting 'second' rather than responding to the OP or even reading it to begin with. this marks your dominance over the other posters in the forum
